Because we are continuously working on improving the website and making it better for our users, there are some new features available to you. You can create custom icons to be associated with your PP username, and also participate in our Google Maps page where we map the location of PP users across the world...
1. Make your own icon! As the website is being revamped, custom user icons will take a central place in your PP experience. You can now already upload and create your own icon, by going into your accunt management (My Account Tab at the top of the page) and clicking on the Change my Icon link. The icon you'll create will be associated with all your comments and articles submitted to PP. You can upload, crop and resize any picture that you want and transform it into your unique identifier.
2. A Preterist Planet! Another feature that is not yet completely finished, is our mapping service which maps your location in the world using Google Maps. Only users who entered a location in their profile have been mapped so far, and we are working on finishing this feature so you can update or change your location based on your zip code - only PP members have access to this service. Keep an eye out for an update. Because of the large number of users, the map may load a bit slowly depending on the speed of your computer. Only about 15% of our users are currently mapped, and we are working on figuring out a way to speed up the loading of the map.
3. Subscribe to articles! And one last thing regarding subscriptions, if you were not aware, you may "subscribe" to Planet Preterist articles in the sense that you will be notified of comments and changes made to that article, regardless of the age of the article. This is beneficial in that articles that are old and no longer visible on the front page can still be monitored by any of our users. Subscribe to an article by clicking on the "Subscribe" link located under each article on the main page.
Please let us know how we can improve PP by making suggestions and recommendations. We always take them seriously, and we thank all of you for being part of Planet Preterist.
